Welcome

The Marijuana and Cannabinoids: A Neuroscience Research Summit was
convened by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Summit
focused on the neurological and psychiatric effects of marijuana,
other cannabinoids, and the endocannabinoid system. Both the adverse
and the potential therapeutic effects of the cannabinoid system were
discussed. The goal of the summit was to ensure evidence-based information
is available to inform practice and policy, particularly
important at this time given the rapidly shifting landscape
regarding the recreational and medicinal use of marijuana.
